New here...with a question about hand stippling
#1
Hi everyone! What a great forum! I know I will learn a lot here. I've made a few quilts....nothing too complicated and I still consider myself very much a novice. I like to machine piece and handquilt. Although I am hoping to one day have a new machine and quilt with that as well.
I made the quilt below for my new niece. Precious baby who was not supposed to be as my husband's sister was told she could not have children. Anyway. The charm packs are Moda Odyssea. I saw one like it on Etsy and loved it. I would like to stipple it by hand, but not sure how to start...guess I just 'start'? I don't have a pattern and it is already sandwiched. My other quilts have been either straight lines, simple pattern, or echoed. I would like to do a swirly type pattern. Any opinions??

OH I didn't know they made such a thing! What do you use for marking? chalk or disappearing ink?

I have a stippling stencil that I've used to quilt a stipple by hand, and I used a disappearing pen for it. I did it one stencil at a time because I'm really slow at hand quilting.
Here's a couple links to a large stippling stencil: http://www.createforless.com/StenSou...pid139108.aspx
